“The people from Netherworld Palace helped me modify the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, significantly boosting my combat strength,” Billy said with a faint smile.
“No wonder!” The three nodded.
At that moment, the voice of the man from before echoed again, “I really underestimated you. Not bad. I’m looking forward to our battle. Good luck!”
As his words fell, several powerful auras swept in from the distant void.
In the blink of an eye, eight figures appeared within Billy and his companions’ line of sight.
All of them were cloaked in black robes, holding black scythes, each riding on a one-horned beast.
Judging by their auras, all eight were at the Supreme Ancestry Realm, and the beasts they rode were equally formidable, comparable to first-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm in combat power.
“Be careful, seniors. If you can’t win, just stall them for a while,” Billy said before activating his Nether Wings and flashing forward.
In an instant, he appeared before an elder at the front and slashed without any hesitation.
The elder didn’t expect Billy to be so fast. His pupils contracted as he hurriedly raised his blade to block.
The blade light of the Phantom Blade Technique was unstoppable, cleaving down from the elder’s head. Both the elder and the beast beneath him were split in half, blood and flesh flying.
The elder’s face was filled with endless shock; he never expected someone at the early stage of Holy Ancestry Realm to possess such combat strength!
At the same time, two other elders’ beasts roared and charged at Billy.
However, before they could react, a blade light descended from the sky, and two beast heads fell from mid-air.
Although these beasts had resilience comparable to mid-stage Supreme Ancestry Realm, the Bloodshadow Fury Blade had been modified to an unparalleled sharpness.
One slash was enough to kill!
“You deserve to die!” The remaining opponents roared in unison and launched their attacks.
Tommy and the other two didn’t stay idle either, each unleashing their full strength to meet the enemy.
For a moment, the entire void was filled with surging waves of energy, with blades and swords clashing.
Although their opponents were strong, the strongest among them was only at fourth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm; none could withstand a single slash from Billy.
With the assistance of his Nether Wings, Billy’s speed was astonishing, making it impossible for his enemies to track him.
The entire battle lasted less than ten minutes before it ended. All eight opponents and their beasts were slain.
Tommy and the other two sustained some injuries but nothing serious.
The three looked at Billy, who had slaughtered his way through, with deep admiration in their hearts.
Just a few dozen days ago, a Divine Dragon in the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space had given each of them a Pure Essence Pill, instructing them to protect Billy and ensure he didn’t die in the Silent Ruins space.
After refining the Pure Essence Pills, they had all broken through to the Supreme Ancestry Realm and were confident they wouldn’t disappoint the Divine Dragon.
But now, in just a few short days, Billy’s combat strength had surpassed theirs even without activating the Heavenly Xuan Space.
Such growth speed was unbelievable!
After the battle, Billy didn’t forget to collect the opponents’ storage rings and beast cores-Stout’s favorite items.
Then, the four continued on their journey. After about fifteen minutes, they arrived at a massive square.
Not far ahead stood a grand palace with entirely black walls.
Even though Billy and his companions were still a thousand meters away from the palace, they could feel the powerful oppressive aura emanating from within, sending chills down their spines.
Soon, footsteps echoed around them as countless figures emerged from all sides of the square. There were about four to five thousand people in total, each holding a black scythe.
Billy quickly assessed their cultivation levels and narrowed his eyes. The weakest among them was at the late stage of Breaking Emptiness Realm, while the strongest was at half-step Supreme Ancestry Realm.
Then, ten men and women walked out from the main gate of the palace, all at Supreme Ancestry Realm. The strongest among them was at sixth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm.
Just one Inferno had so many Supreme Ancestry Realm experts; this Silent Ruins Sky Realm truly hid many powerful beings!
“I must say, your strength has exceeded our expectations,” said the sixth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm leader as he looked at Billy. “However, you’re still too arrogant…”
“Do you want an opportunity?” Billy responded calmly.
“I’m curious what opportunity you have for us,” the sixth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm leader laughed. “Let’s hear it!”
“Hand over three treasures from your Inferno, and I’ll give you a way out. How about it?” Billy added, “Oh, and I heard you have an Inferno’s Flower. Give me that too.”
“Hahaha…” The elder laughed heartily.
After finally stopping his laughter, he looked at Billy. “You have guts to joke at a time like this!”
“This is your only chance. Take it or leave it,” Billy shrugged.
“I’ll give you an opportunity too,” the elder replied. “Hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Skystone, then cripple your cultivation yourself. I’ll let you leave here alive!”
“Then let’s fight and see who prevails!” Billy shrugged again.
“Do you really think you four can stand against our thousands…” The elder started but didn’t finish as Billy flashed forward, activating the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass and bringing all ten Supreme Ancestry Realm men and women into the Heavenly Xuan Space.
Almost simultaneously with activating the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, two figures-one purple and one white-flashed out from his body.
They were Purple Spirit and White Feather!
Billy had let Purple Spirit and White Feather out as a precaution. Although Tommy and the others could handle those thousands of people, he worried there might be stronger enemies outside since the elder who spoke initially hadn’t shown up yet.
“Be careful; this is Heavenly Xuan Space. Our cultivation is somewhat suppressed. Don’t be careless…” The sixth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm elder warned loudly after a brief pause.
Before he could finish speaking, Billy had already moved. His figure flashed rapidly as an arc-shaped blade light tore through the void towards his opponents.
“Dodge quickly!” The sixth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm elder shouted again as he swiftly dodged to the side.
Although he managed to avoid it, others weren’t so lucky.
Except for two fifth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm individuals, everyone else didn’t even get a chance to act before their heads were severed by the blade light, blood spraying like fountains.
The two fifth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm individuals survived but had deep wounds on their bodies, blood gushing out.
“You truly deserve to die!!!” The sixth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm elder roared with rage.
Billy didn’t bother with words and unleashed another Heavenly Fury Slash towards him.
The elder seemed to notice that this attack wasn’t very powerful and punched towards the blade light.
After a loud crash, Billy was sent flying hundreds of meters back, his blood boiling inside him.
The elder didn’t stop after landing a hit; he chased after Billy like a beast with fists flying out continuously.
Billy didn’t confront him head-on but swiftly dodged his attacks.
“If I’m not mistaken, you can only use that powerful slash once in a short time!” The sixth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm elder said while chasing Billy.
In his view, Billy clearly couldn’t use the Phantom Blade Technique again shortly; otherwise, he wouldn’t be dodging all this time.
“Want to see that slash?” Billy’s voice rang out. “As you wish!”
Before his words even finished, another Phantom Blade Technique formed, tearing open a crack hundreds of meters long in the void as it flashed towards his opponent.
